The Chicago Cubs franchise and Wrigley Field are currently for sale. There is a real possibility that, in the very near future, when Wrigley Field is sold, the naming rights for Wrigley Field may be then sold to generate revenue for the new owner. It doesn't matter what the money is used for, the name will be lost forever!

The purpose of the "Keep It Wrigley" web site is to provide a common voice for anyone who has ever enjoyed a visit to Wrigley Field and wants to express their desire for Wrigley Field to remain Wrigley Field.

Our goal is not to prevent the new owner of Wrigley Field the opportunity to generate revenue, but instead make it known that we believe the best route to success with Wrigley Field is to retain and embrace its history; there are many Wrigley fans who would prefer the name to remain Wrigley Field. The new owner should look for new and creative ways to generate revenue from the ballpark while maintaining Wrigley Field as an icon of baseball history.

To accomplish this goal we all need to work together to be heard - every voice adds to the volume. If that volume is loud enough, someone will listen.

So, if you believe like we do, that Wrigley should remain Wrigley, register on this site to add your voice to the preservation of the Wrigley Field name.
